For someone who is supposedly a BB and so good at BJJ he doesn't like to go for many subs. He has spent perhaps more time on top than anyone in MMA history....yet he rarely goes for legit sub attempts. You would think a guy with that wrestling, strength, control....and I guess BJJ would be a little scarier on top. If Penn, Diaz, or Shields had that kind of wrestling and top control you would be seeing monsters . They would easily sub most anyone from top. I understand BJJ is more than subs.

But in terms of offensive BJJ? I don't even rank GSP. Couldn't finish an full armbar on Hardy. Doesn't even look for many subs even though he is usually on top of a tired out fighter for long periods.

I forgot to add in "for 2 rounds". Shields is perhaps one of teh worst strikers in the UFC.

GSPs last 2 finishes are against 155ers. Penn just quit because he is a quitter. Serra sat there and GSP kneed him in the body until the ref said Serra can't do anything I am stopping it. Not even real stoppages.....vs. 155ers..

GSP hasn't beaten up the strikers Nick Diaz has done on the feet. It's as simple as that really mate. GSP wasn't pounding on BJ Penn like Rocky Balboa pounds on a frozen piece of meat in the chiller. GSP hasn't stood toe to toe and knocked out top level strikers like Paul Daley.

GSP simply hasn't done these things standing. The most impressive he's been on the feet is when he dropped Thiago Alves, it hardly compares to Diaz's accomplishments in the striking game.

We're talking about a GSP here who didn't want to stay on the feet for longer than 20 seconds per round with Dan Hardy. If Nick fought Dan Hardy, he'd stand with him and out box him silly and earn the TKO victory. That's the difference between the two fighters standing.

Do you have any thing else to add? Paul Daley is a high level striker with devastating power. Diaz stood toe to toe with him and became the first man to ever KO Daley. That's incredibly impressive. Meanwhile GSP didn't want to stand for any extended period of time with Dan Hardy.

No, I've got all I needed out of this thread. I'll be back on Saturday after Frenchy wins a decision.
